Date of Beach Clean Up: Saturday, November 8, 2008 at 8:30am. Pre-clean up meeting at Velzyland Park at 8:00am for clean up instructions and information. The beach clean up will commence from Velzyland to Haleiwa, approximately 10 + miles long, covering roadways, bike paths and over 15 plus popular surf spots and beach parks making this the largest beach clean up on the North Shore and within the State of Hawai’i. Many of the world’s top professional surfers such as Kala Alexander, Makua Rothman, Myles Padaca, Andy Irons, Bruce Irons, etc. – will be on hand to participate in this annual event, as this is their way to give back to the community who is a part of their success in the world of professional surfing. We are also asking participants to bring one (1) non-perishable food item to be donated to the Hawai’i Food Bank. We had over 300 participants last year and are confidant that the same, or more, participants will come out this year. First 200 participants to bring one (1) can good will receive a free Da Hui sticker!
